my new go-to for when i'm feeling wonky
and stressed out about life
and want to listen to some cheese is
hellogoodbye
this was a direct result of finding a stack of cd's from the car
during break and realizing that 16 (or 17) year old me
paid like 13 or 14 bucks to buy this album
and i was like 'what the hell, might as well give it
a couple more listens'
and then i realized that forrest kline's
insanely derivative yet hopelessly heartwarming
aural renderings (not songs because most of it is synth anyways)
could be my generation's 'oldies' one day
and oh my god does that make me cringe yet feel proud
there's some kind of feeling that you get
(and stop me if you know what i'm talking about)
when you listen to 'here in your arms' -
it's like bitterness, but the complete opposite...
sort of like remembering something that you forgot
happened and realizing it wasn't an accident
that you forgot it
but now that you remember it
it wasn't so bad and everything around you is changed
and you kind of wish that it could be then again
and yet at the same time not
in the end, it's one of those love songs
that make you feel pretty good about everything
that went right and hope that everything
that went wrong happened for a reason
